Their Stories

Insomnia, Injection site pain and Oropharyngeal pain

12.30.2020 – The pain at injection site was x 10 as painful as a flu shot in the 24 hours following. Negatively affected my sleep night-of. I assume the shot has to be given up really high on the arm? Mine was several inches above flu shot locations over the years. I hope that was necessary as it feels it may be contributing to the pain.
